Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: 1-2 hrs
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 eggplant, cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 large head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil, preferably extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 ripe red tomatoes, cored, sliced in half and seeded
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Set oven racks at the two lowest levels, then preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Peel as much of the papery skin from the garlic as possible and wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes or until the garlic is soft. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Place eggplant on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 10 minutes.
Add onion slices and tomato halves to the baking sheet and roast for 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until all the vegetables are soft. Let cool slightly.
Separate the garlic cloves and squeeze the soft pulp into a medium-size bowl. Mash with the back of a spoon. Slip skins from the eggplant and tomatoes. Coarsely chop. Finely chop the onion.
Add the chopped vegetables to the garlic pulp and stir in the lemon juice, mint, olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cool, 1 to 2 hours.
NOTE: The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Serve with sliced raw vegetables, crackers or pita breads.
